Shards of Etheria

Etheria, that which binds the universe together. A single fragment allows instantaneous transit to any corner of reality at the speed of thought. Etheria is the energy that created the big bang, the origin and creation of not only this universe but every universe. The Illyrian empire used it to as a means for an absolute supremacy that spanned the known universe. Illyria ruled with an iron fist and law that all knew and obeyed. Until the shadows came.After generations of consumption the Illyrian empire had drained this reality of Etheria. A plan was hatched to open a portal to another reality, to infuse a new source of Etheria into the empire. the Illyrian Empire thought it had solved the greatest crisis of their generation, but instead they opened a breach into an abyss of utter darkness and despair. The shadows and their spawn came from the great breach, the demon lords, the soul eaters, and countless other creatures of darkness and decay flooded into the Illyrian empire. Illyria fought with all it had, but even the Knights of Illyria and their swords of power were not enough to hold back the tide. All fell to shadow and the universe screamed. the Illyrian empire and its few remaining allies forced the shadow as far back as they could, imprisoning its spawn when all else failed. Many worlds are still poisoned despite the passage of millennia since their great conflict. It seemed as though the shadows would swallow the universe whole and nothing good could survive such times. But eventually, inexplicably, the shadows fell dormant, their black hunger sated for a time. They have lain in a slumber longer than the span of known history. Only dim fragments and relics of the once great empire of Illyria still remain.

The shadows are stirring once more, the soul eaters and shadows of madness returning. A darkness is touching the universe, and heroes are needed once more.
